Two years ago, when the Jersey Lily
visited San Francisco, her attention was
directed to bright eyed native of Cam

that it would be surprise to her New

entered into between Wong Afoo' father
and Mrs. Langtry, and the result was
that the boy entered into her service
His father states that he allowed the boy
to go under the condition that he was to
be taught TO read and write English.
How much tuition Wong Afoo received
in the r:dimcnts Of the language while
under The Lily S motherly care is a prob

her east and also to England. When the

I have found upon investigation that
the English railways have to bear the oner
Gus task in the way of furnishing free
transportation to prominent individuals
and officials, as did the railroads in the
United States before the passage Of the
interstate commerce bill. was told by a
railroad official the other day that all of
the royalties travel free, and that they
expect in addition special coaches. The
visiting royalties have also been furnished
free transportation, and in many instances
special trains. This pass system must be
very expensive. Coming up from Ports
mouth the other day, got a seat on the
special train assigned to the members Of
the house of peers. These peers had with
them innumerable relatives, and noticed
at one of the stations where the guard
came along to take up the tickets, that he
looked very much surprised when gave
him one. 1t was apparently the only
ticket taken up by him on the train.

POPE LEo'S JUBILEE.
An Event In Which the Catholic World

NEW YORK. Sept lA-The preparations
for the celebration Of the golden jubilee Of
Pope Leo XIII are now stirring the whole
Catholic world, and il is certain that it will
be the most imposing pageant that even the
imperial city OF Rome has seen for hundreds
Of Years.
Cardinal Gibbons, and Bishops Keane Of
Richmond and Ireland Of Minnesota, who
have but recently returned from visit to
Rome. say that the arrangements for the juhi-
lee are being made on a scale that Is more
than magnificent Gifts OF money and OF its
equivalent in various kinds are flowing in.
An idea Of the manner in which Catholics
are interested may be CLEANED from the fact
that the offering Of the United States Of Co
lombia in South America, alone amounts to
1,lOO. go francs.
Cardinal Gibbons, the primate Of the Amer
lean Catholic church, has already taken the
initiative in America in the matter Of prop
erly celebrating the jubilee i'll common with
other countries He has appointed a COM
mittee to make all the necessary arrange
ments. and other bishops will follow his ex-
ample. Pope Leo has always taken u pro-
found interest in America, which he seems to
regard as tho richest territory in which the
Catholic church has been planted.

blood more destructive of happiness and
health than in the human system. When
the life current Is foul and sluggish with

to health. and life even, is imminent. Early
symptoms are dull and drOwsy feelings,
